I hear from PMP’s from all over the world several times a week (most have gone through Cheetah Learning) and they share with me how they have used their credential over the years. I thought it might be informative to share those stories here (as we do all learn from each other). For me, the PMP changed my business life in some remarkable ways. I had been an entrepreneur for 15 years before I became a PMP. After I became a PMP in 2001, it was like I became an entrepreneur on steroids as then I had more discipline to the follow the processes required to be a more successful entrepreneur...

Accelerated PMP Exam Prep – 100% Passing Guarantee after 4 days of Prep. You take the exam on the fifth day and Cheetah guarantees you will pass. Cheetah takes you across the finish line. This is a class to become a PMP – not just “prep” to become a PMP. ****IMPORTANT**** This is a big difference as with other PMP prep approaches, you complete your PMI Eligibility application AFTER you take their course. With Cheetah, you complete your PMI Eligibility application BEFORE – so if PMI decides you are not eligible to take the PMP exam you don’t waste your time or money in a program you may not even need. Read the fine print – if a company tells you that you get the 35-hour education requirement for PMI’s PMP Eligibility application, they are telling you that you could be at risk for not even being eligible for taking the PMP exam. PMI has stringent experience requirements besides the 35 hour PM education requirement.

Cheetah helps you fill out the PMI Eligibility application so you know if you are even eligible to take the PMP exam BEFORE you take our course.

Coming out of my turkey-induced stupor, and getting ready for the next Cheetah Leadership retreat, I’m reflecting on the magic of Project Management and Leadership – especially in relationship to the latest holiday. Thanksgiving requires both leadership and project management in abundant quantities to pull off a stellar event. First, let’s unpack what “stellar” even means from a celebration perspective.​Stellar is going to mean different things to different people – and probably something different to each one of us. For someone who is great at project management, stellar means having everything associated with the celebration going according to plan. For someone who is great at leadership, stellar means having folks having a great time with the celebration. Where everyone is aligned with expectations around the holiday celebration – having a great time as they are meeting their expectations with participating in the celebration...

"This course was imperative to my success for obtaining my PMP. I have real test anxiety that is almost paralyzing. This course gave me tools to help overcome that. It also provides great supplemental material from the PMBOK 6 which I found was extremely valuable especially considering how boring and repetitive the PMBOK guide was. The instructor really made the virtual experience feel like it might as well have been face to face. I ended up passing the exam above target at 3.5 hours.:)"

Henderson, NV - attached to the south end of Las Vegas - is slated to be home to a new Google data center in December 2020.

The Governor’s Office of Economic Development approved $25.2 million in tax abatements Thursday for Design LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Google. The company plans to build the data center on 64 acres of land on Warm Springs Road west of Boulder Highway. The subsidiary plans to build and own the facility, while Google would handle operations and hiring.​Mountain View, California-based Google has a market value of $743.7 billion, according to Yahoo Finance, and employed more than 89,000 full-time workers as of June.

Paul Anderson, executive director of the economic development office, said the $25 million tax abatement amount was standard for a project of this type. He pointed out that the total incentive package was less than 5 percent of the company’s total 10-year investment projections.

The data center would support Google services in North America such as YouTube, Google Calendar, Gmail and more, as well as cloud computing services. Anderson said the data center would not compete with other local data center companies like Switch.

Read below to find out about some of the most common Java programming errors you need to avoid.

1. Ignoring Existing Java Libraries

Some newcomers to the world of software and app development try to reinvent the wheel when it comes to using Java programming. Before you spend copious amounts of time writing out long lines of code, you need to check out some of the Java libraries available online.

With the help of these libraries are updated regularly, which means the code contained with them is error free and easy to use. Experienced programmers realize the value of these Java libraries and use them to make their job easier.

2. Issues With Memory Leaks

One of the best features that Java has is automatic memory management. While this memory management feature is helpful, it can also create problems for new developers when it comes to figuring out how memory is used in their application.

Java memory leaks are common and come in a variety of forms. One of the most common causes of these memory leaks is everlasting object references. The garbage collector built into Java will not be able to remove objects if you still have references to them in your code. If all of your static fields are classified as GC roots, they will linger even if you try to get rid of them.

3. Don’t Ignore Exceptions

Leaving exceptions unhandled may be tempting, but it should be avoided at all cost. There is always a reason for exceptions, which is why you need to figure out what the problem is and fix it.

Neglecting to handle these exceptions will usually lead to problems with your program over time. Luckily, there are a number of programs you can use to find exceptions and diagnose them. Utilizing the power of these tools will make the exception troubleshooting process much easier.

4. Issues WIth Excessive Garbage Allocation

If your program creates anumber of short-lived objects, you will probably experience issues with excessive garbage allocation. The garbage collector is designed to work continuously to remove any unneeded objects from your program’s memory. Having an excessive amount of garbage allocation will slow your program down and make it hard to operate.

Becoming a top-notch Java programmer will require a lot of trial and error. By taking notice of the common Java errors mentioned in this article, you can avoid problems with the apps and software programs you develop.
